Making Augmented Reality in UE5
summary
UE5 provides templates for handheld, HMD, and level-authored AR and demonstrates concrete workflows: use an AR pin (wraps a platform anchor) to fix a scene component in real space, compute the tracking-to-world transform by moving the pawn (inverse math shown) to align unreal content with real geometry, and persist/share anchors with Azure Spatial Anchors (cloud-backed IDs and metadata). A stage demo reproduces the same anchored scene for three users via a dedicated server; Pixel 6 + ARCore proves cross-platform rendering and interaction differences.
